Calculation of rate to be disclosed
Official statutory text
(1) Except as otherwise specifically provided, if a seller is
required to give to a buyer a statement of the rate of the credit
service charge he shall state the rate in terms of an annual
percentage rate as defined in subsection (2) or in terms of a
corresponding nominal annual percentage rate as defined in
subsection (3), whichever is appropriate.
(2) "Annual percentage rate"
(a) with respect to a consumer credit sale other than one
made pursuant to a revolving charge account, is either
(i) that nominal annual percentage rate which, when
applied to the unpaid balances of the amount
financed calculated according to the actuarial
method, will yield a sum equal to the amount of
the credit service charge; or
(ii) that rate determined by any method prescribed by
rule by the Administrator as a method which
materially simplifies computation while retaining
reasonable accuracy as compared with the rate
determined pursuant to subparagraph (i);
(b) with respect to a consumer credit sale made pursuant
to a revolving charge account, is the quotient
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 14A. Consumer Credit Code Page 40
expressed as a percentage of the total credit service
charge for the period to which it related divided by
the amount upon which the credit service charge for
that period is based, multiplied by the number of
these periods in a year.
(3) "Corresponding nominal annual percentage rate" is the
percentage or percentages used to calculate the credit service
charge for one billing cycle or other period pursuant to a revolving
charge account multiplied by the number of billing cycles or periods
in a year.
(4) If a seller is permitted to make the same credit service
charge for all amounts financed within a specified range (subsection
(5) of Section 2-201) or for all balances within a specified range
(subsection (2) of Section 2-207), he shall state the annual
percentage rate or corresponding nominal annual percentage rate,
whichever is appropriate, as applied to the median amount of the
range within which the actual amount financed or balance is
included.
(5) A statement of rate complies with this part if it does not
vary from the accurately computed rate by more than the following
tolerances:
(a) the annual percentage rate may be rounded to the
nearest quarter of one percent (1/4 of 1%) or may fall
within a tolerance not greater than one-eighth of one
percent (1/8 of 1%) more or less than the actual rate
for consumer credit sales payable in substantially
equal installments when a seller determines the total
credit service charge on the basis of a single add-on,
discount, periodic, or other rate, and the rate is
converted into an annual percentage rate under
procedures prescribed by rule by the Administrator;
(b) the Administrator may authorize by rule the use of
rate tables or charts which may provide for the
disclosure of annual percentage rates which vary from
the rate determined in accordance with paragraph (a)
by not more than the tolerances the Administrator may
allow; the Administrator may not allow a tolerance
greater than eight percent (8%) of that rate except to
simplify compliance where irregular payments are
involved; and
(c) in case a seller determines the annual percentage rate
in a manner other than as described in paragraph (a)
or (b), the Administrator may authorize by rule other
reasonable tolerances.
